Attention RUSH fans! Favourite RUSH Album Please

Didnt like Vapour Trails on first listen but I grew to enjoy itAlways liked Grace under Pressure but Moving Pictures, 2112, Hemispheres, Perminent Waves are diffrent ClassAll the live albumns are terrificandSnakes and Arrows is a great return to form

hard to pick a definitive disc as each era was completely different,from the the 70's it has to be All The Worlds A Stage- all the classic early tracks on a superb live disc,(re 2112 i actually prefer side 2).

From the 80's easily Moving Pictures probably the best studio disc they ever done(although signals does run it close)

late 80's 90's probably the least i listened but Counterparts was superb standing out amongst the rest(Different stages is also magnificent) sooooooo if i had to list them then:1) all the worlds a stage2)Moving Pictures3)Counterparts4) Different stages live5) Signals6) The rest of them ha ha

For me it has to be one of three. My first taste of Rush came when I was 5 (back in 1980) and having 3 older brothers meant I knew Sabbath and Zeppelin songs better than nursery rhymes haha. Anyway the first albums I heard was 2112 and Permanent Waves which to this day get a good blasting from my stereo. The third has to be Moving Pictures purely because of Tom Sawyer, which is my all time fave Rush tune!

Some people struggle with 'side 2' but just playing it now on a good stereo and it is brilliant.Disappointed in Rio CD as the sound is a bit muddy (DVD much better)new years resolution: track down more live b*otlegs.

I would have previously said it's a toss up between Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves, but I now rate Snakes & Arrows their equal. Test For Echo, Hemispheres and Farewell To Kings I also like, but it's the previously mentioned three I rate the highest.

What a great question but how can you decide that??!I got hooked when I brought 2112 a week after it was released and have brought every album since. I still love listening to Permanent Waves and Hemispheres but credit where it's due, I can't take Vapor Trails out of my car.
